Wedding Wonders

Theme: This elegant celebration is a wonderland of white, with fresh touches of green and gold.

Centerpiece: Four simple white cakes march down the white tablecloth, each resting on a glass pedestal and topped with green grapes dusted with powdered sugar. Petite vases of inexpensive white hydrangeas and gold hurricanes with white candles coordinate with mini compotes filled with gilded almonds and White Meringues.

Drink: For simple green apple martinis, mix equal parts vodka and sour apple schnapps with a splash of lime juice. Glasses of champagne stay chilled with frozen green grapes.

Place Setting and Favor: Gold chargers elegantly showcase simple white china and clear glassware. Fabric ivy twirls gracefully up the stems of the martini glasses and around the bases of the fanned white napkins. The place card doubles as a favor—a large heart-shape bakery cookie, iced in pearly white with the guest’s name in green, bagged in cellophane for a take-home treat.

Decorative Detail: An iron candelabra hangs from billows of white sheering draped to form the top and open sides of the dining pavilion. Ornate gold frames hung from satin ribbons give the illusion of walls. Both can be reused in the home after your incredible event.
